Projekt Bay Lietzow: Arbeiten & Entspannen am Meer

Project Bay is a great place to work and feel at ease at the same time. I had an amazing week there and very much enjoyed to be surrounded by such beautiful landscape and nice people.

​

The whole space is arranged very practically and with lots of love for details. The shared kitchen is very well equipped. I particularly liked that you could use the co-working space, kitchen & garden, do the laundry, borrow SUPs (all for free by the way) without any "bureaucracy".

​

There is a great community spirit, but it is not distracting - so you can get focused work done at each time of the day/evening. The team is very open-minded and they try hard to accomodate every request.

​

As for getting around: Sassnitz, Binz and Bergen are easy to reach by a short train ride. Some other destinations such as Kap Arcona are difficult to reach without a car (an electric car can also be rented at Project Bay for a fair price).

​

Some tips for your travel preparations: There's no (super)market in Lietzow, so you should do some grocery shopping before your arrival. The dorms are on the road-side so there is quite some traffic noise during the day. Also they are facing East, so in summer the sun will already shine into the room very early. If you are sensitive to noise/light, consider bringing Ohropax/a sleeping mask or book a single/double room facing the waterfront.

​

Last but not least, the lake view from the co-working space is amazing, in particular the evening light and sunsets (see photo). Hoping to return next year!

Special location. A really ugly early 1990 architecture crime on a top location filled with cool modern life. Workation with seaview. Direct train connection, beach (kite spot), self catering kitchen, fellow coworkers on evening campfire, standard callcenter office with some nice gimmicks … I was there in winter and it worked. Summer must be fantastic (I love the Baltic sea).

Be prepared for very functional accomodation style - there is still a huge potential to make it more fancy (I was running a award winning top rated hostel in stiff Berlin competition for 15 years and consider me an expert).

Wasn't my first choice to stay here, but work insisted we had to with no other reason than convenience for them.

​

The rooms I can only describe as Josef fritzels basement x 10! Waking up in the middle of the night looking up at the masses of cobwebs and arachnids gives you quite the freight!

​

Damp and moist rooms must have been the requirements of the building regulation as I've stayed in more than a handful of these dwellings, and they are all the same, even some having leaks.

​

Make sure you get insurance on your electronics as we all have damage to our personal belongings with no liability from our company or the accommodation management.

​

Good luck! (Only a fool would stay here)

Dies ist der schlimmste Ort, an dem ich je in meinem Leben übernachtet habe.

​

Die Wohnung ist furchtbar undicht und hinterlässt einen ständigen feuchten Geruch im ganzen Gebäude.

NEIN, ich werde meine Bewertung nicht löschen, ich habe hier mit TRAC renewables übernachtet, mein Laptop wurde wegen eurer undichten Zimmer zerstört, ich war extrem nett und habe euch über ein JAHR Zeit gegeben, um wenigstens zu versuchen, es durch die Versicherung zu bringen, aber jetzt, nachdem ihr es nicht getan habt, lasst ihr mir keine andere Wahl, als eine genaue Bewertung zu hinterlassen.

Sehr schlecht. Die Unterkunft ist einfach. Sie hat ein Bett und einen Platz zum Duschen. Allerdings ist sie undicht. Wenn der Regen fällt, werden das Dach und die Fenster undicht. Das hinterlässt Pfützen im Zimmer. Das Geräusch von tropfendem Wasser hält dich nachts wach. Und wenn du Pech hast, wird auch noch deine Elektronik durch die undichten Stellen zerstört. Und wenn sie die Eigentümer sind, tun sie nichts. Sie versprechen, sich darum zu kümmern, nur um dich ruhig zu halten. One Jahr für Jahr nicht ersetzt oder für beschädigte Elektronik entschädigt.
